Signed Proclamation Declaring Sept. 17-23 As Constitution Week

City of Eureka Mayor Stephen Coulter signed a proclamation on Sept. 8, declaring the week of Sept. 17 – 23, Constitution Week for the City of Eureka. Greenwood County members of the Susannah French Putney chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) were in attendance to witness the signing.

In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was adopted by Congress and signed into public law on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
